hogmaw Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I remember mine vividly. I had a Celica at the time about 5 years back. I was in a Texaco garage off City Rd in London, and there was a silver supra at the pump next to me. I felt 1 inch tall, cos here was another Toyota that looked like it would piss all over my Celica (which I was quite proud of) in every department. I knew then that I HAD to have one... took me a few years saving etc, but WELL WORTH IT and I am still well chuffed to this day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 1998, off junction 7 from the M62, was pulled up in a layby, spoilerless RSP Edit: that was my first MkIV in person, seen a few MKIIs and IIIs earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 London, shortly after they came out. I walked out in front of it and nearly got run over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 1993 - Storm Blue UK car in High Wycombe. I was cycling on the path with my mates when it overtook us- I nearly fell off my bike! Didn't see another one for years after that. I did see the Autocar & Motor artist impression of it in 1992 and he was spot on (for once!).

Gazboy Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Oh- that was my first mkiv- I was three- four when my aunt bought her black 3.0 mk3, she gave us a lift in it ( 4 kids in the back) then two years later she bought a 3.0 turbo. When the mk4 came out my uncle told her there was no way she was having it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I saw my first Supra when I was at secondary school, and one of my friends Dads was buying a brand new mk2. It looked damn cool when it first came out. He bought a mk3 the instant they came out. That was the first time I'd seen one of them. My first mk4 was a black on on Top Gear, (still got it on VHS!). Then we had one in at work about a month later! - We took it out for a 'test run'. It was a UK TT auto, and the first time I'd ever been impressed with an auto car!

Justin Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Back in 1999. I was on my way to look at buying an MR2 in Hertford. It was on the motorway on the way there and I was in awe. Thought I'd seen a Great White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 My first mk4 was a black on on Top Gear, (still got it on VHS!). Wow you have just GOT to dig that tape out! I am sure me and every one else on this board would love to see that! Please do us all a favour find it and put up an mpeg on here or something?! Please?! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Had never really been bothered with the Jap scene before. Same here. First one I remember seeing was a red TT auto in Bracknell back in summer 2002. I was following it as it gently accelerated away from a roundabout, it sounded like it was only just ticking over yet pulled away from my 2.8 bmw like I was stood still. From that day I knew it would be my next car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 in 2001 my old boss from years ago had a pale blue HKS demo car possibly not a full HKS offical demo car but still!) and although i thought it was ok, i never 'loved' it. then i saw one in my local supermarket car park and liked it, and saw redline a few months later, and loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I was never "into" cars at all, couldn't give two hoots about what did what, but fancied getting something as I was using my parents spare Mondeo. I was working in Southampton about 5 or so years ago, and kept travelling past a garage by the Meridian Centre (next to the bridge) & thought the Celicas out the front looked okay, so went in there. Inside was an awesome kitted Supra, it had a few bumper scuffs, but it was the first time I had seen one and I was totally enchanted by it! It was well out of my budget, but I got online looking at them, and realised with enough work I could afford one eventually. Now on my third one, and have loved every minute of each!

Nick Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 First saw one on the M25 in 1994 I think. It was black and looked like a spaceship. My jaw hit the floor, and as I passed him in my 1.6 Capri I could see the guy driving it had the biggest grin on his face I'd ever seen....

loks Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 March 2002 was the first time I really noticed a MKIV. I had been out of the car scene for many years due to the public transport here being so good and finally decided I wanted a run around. I liked the sound of the Impreza's and was looking at some in a large car showroon at the old HK airport and I saw a black monster that I didn't recognize - shame on me I know. I was surprised to see it was a Supra and I had always wanted one when I was a nipper. Sat in it, test drove it and said to myself, one day this car shall be mine. 2 days later I was handed the keys and my sad life ended there Over 4 years later of ownership and I'm still desparately trying to invest more money in it 500 posts in over 4 years is a very poor hit rate /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_oops.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 First Mkiv spotted on Grand Torismo then F & F when that came out then a guy down the road from my mum got one and well that was the nail in the coffin or wallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
